Gertrude Stein, draped in heavy black velvet, stares at the camera with a superior mixture of anger and amusement.

...thick beige carpet. Mario of Florence, who sells women's shoes at from $82 to $420 a pair, operates out of a grand salon that could have been lifted from a jet-age Florentine palazzo. Roberta di Camerino's place, which specializes in sportswear and $200 velvet handbags, has the piny élan of a ski shop at Cortina d'Ampezzo. Bookseller Angelo Rizzoli (who sells magazines, newspapers and records in many languages, as well as lithographs that range in price from $85 to $9,000) spent $2 million fitting out his shop with Vicenza marble floors...
